Concubine Zhe couldn't believe her ears, stared at Xianyue and trembled: "What did you say, you...you said it again?"
Xianyue pretended to be surprised and said: "Hey, sister, didn't you hear clearly? Then I will repeat it again. The emperor wants to grant a marriage to Liu Ye and Lan Ling's bodyguard Zhong Qi."
This time, Concubine Zhe heard every word clearly, but the surprise in her heart became even more serious, "Why did the emperor suddenly make such a decree of marriage?"
Before Xianyue could speak, Liuye knelt down in panic, pulled the corner of Concubine Zhe's clothes and said, "Master, I don't want to marry you. I don't want to marry Zhong Qi." No one knows better than her what kind of person Zhong Qi is.
He is a gambling man, and even his wife can be mortgaged to a gambling house. If she marries him, she will be even worse off than she was in the palace, and she will not have a good life in the rest of her life.
Xianyue plucked the jasper pendant under her ear and said in a cold voice: "Liu Ye, you are not young anymore. It is rare that the emperor is willing to make the decision for you and let you marry a true sixth-grade Lan Ling guard. What else do you have to be dissatisfied with?"
?”
Naturally, Liu Ye would not tell the truth, and thought nervously: "Replying to Concubine Xian, I am not dissatisfied, but I feel that I cannot reach the level of Guard Zhong, so..."
Before she could finish her words, Xianyue said: "You don't have to worry about this at all. The emperor personally decreed the marriage, which is a supreme honor. I believe that Zhong Qi and even the entire Zhong family will not have any objection to you."
Any slight."
Xianyue's understatement blocked all the words behind Liu Ye, making her not know how to evade. She could only look at Concubine Zhe nervously, hoping that she would reject the marriage for her.
"Tell me, why did the emperor suddenly grant a marriage decree?" Faced with Concubine Zhe's question again, Xianyue smiled casually and said, "Shouldn't my sister know this best?"
"What Concubine Xian said is really ridiculous, I..." She was about to say how she knew, but mid-sentence, she suddenly stopped her voice and her expression became weird, "You..."
Xianyue's smile faded slightly and she said, "It seems that sister has thought of using the same method as the other person to do the same thing. Does she like it?"
Hearing this, Concubine Zhe confirmed her suspicions and gritted her teeth and uttered a few words, "You are so despicable!"
"Despicable?" Xianyue covered her lips and said with a smile: "These two words are the most suitable for my sister. Don't forget that the person who first came up with this despicable method was my sister herself."
"You!" In terms of the power of words, Concubine Zhe is no match for Xianyue, not to mention that she was wrong in this matter.
"Since I have been in charge of the harem, I have always respected my sister. Even if my sister has done something too much, I have always tolerated it for the sake of my sister's friendship for many years. I hope that my sister can find her way back soon; unfortunately,
All my hard work has been in vain, and my sister not only has no regrets
, and turned into Benjiali, intending to harm A Luo for life. A Luo has followed me for many years, and is like my closest relative. I will not let anyone who dares to harm her go. Sister, you have committed a big taboo.
!" When she said these words, Xianyue was still smiling, but her beautiful eyes were as cold as ice, which made people shudder.
Concubine Zhe averted her eyes and said calmly: "Nonsense, I have never harmed her before, but she herself, relying on you to support her, often disrespects the master in the palace. If things go on like this, she will definitely cause big trouble.
You can’t come.”
"Didn't he hurt her? What happened to Zhong Qi? Qi Kuan found out that Liu Ye had been in contact with Zhong Qi several times. That is to say, after that, Zhong Qi, who was a gambling addict, suddenly became rich, and he and he
The guards who were on duty together also changed their tune and praised him profusely."
Concubine Zhe looked uneasy and said: "Really? Why don't I know about this?" After saying that, she turned her eyes to Liu Ye who was still kneeling on the ground, "Is it true?"
"Slave..." Liu Ye kept rolling his eyes and said: "Slave, I have indeed seen Guard Zhong, but it was just an occasional encounter, and only once. There was definitely not as many contacts as Concubine Xian said.
Please master, please tell me clearly."
Hearing this, Concubine Zhe was quite satisfied with her answer. She raised her eyes and said, "Concubine Xian heard everything Liu Ye said. There is nothing like what you said."
The corner of Xianyue's lips curled up slightly and she said, "Is that so? Sister knows in her heart that I am not here to argue with my sister about this. In short, the emperor's will has been decided, so my sister will wait to receive the imperial edict."
Concubine Zhe slapped the armrest hard, stood up and shouted: "Concubine Xian, don't bully others too much!"
Xianyue then stood up and said in a cold voice: "My sister knows best who is going too far. Today is just a small punishment. If she doesn't restrain herself, don't blame me, a younger sister, for being rude. A big brother,
It’s not enough to keep my sister worry-free for the rest of her life!”
Before Concubine Zhe could speak, Xianyue said again: "Okay, that's it. I have other things to do. Let's come back and chat with my sister another day." After that, she turned and left, leaving behind an angry person.
The trembling concubine Zhe.
After she walked away, Concubine Zhe grabbed the blue and white porcelain cup on the red sandalwood table and threw it on the door frame. With a "bang", it immediately shattered into pieces and shocked the palace people who were about to come in.
, the palace man did not dare to go any further, and timidly said: "Master, Eunuch Xi has come with the imperial edict."
"Imperial decree..." Liu Ye murmured and repeated, nervously and panicked: "Master, that imperial decree must be a decree granting marriage. You can't accept it. Please, don't accept it, otherwise this slave will die.
"
Concubine Zhe was upset. When she said this, she became even more upset and said angrily: "Who told you to die? It's just to get married. Besides, haven't you been looking forward to this day?"
Liu Ye shed tears and said: "But Zhong Qi is a gambler. How can you live a good life with him? Master, please help me this time because I have served you with all my heart in these years."
"
"The emperor personally issued the decree, how can I help you?" Concubine Zhe walked back and forth in the palace irritably. At this time, Sixi had already walked in holding a bright yellow imperial decree.
Facing that imperial edict, Concubine Zhe had no choice but to kneel down with Liu Ye no matter how reluctant she was. The content of the imperial edict was the same as what Xianyue said. To marry Zhong Qi and Liu Ye, how many people asked for the emperor's marriage?
However, for Liu Ye at this moment, the undesirable thing was no different than a reminder; if she could, she would like to throw this imperial edict far away, so that she would never see or hear it in this life.
After Si Xi finished reciting the words "I appreciate this", the two concubines and concubines were still missing, kowtow and thank each other, and reminded them in a low voice: "Empress, you..."
Concubine Zhe came back to her senses and quickly kowtowed to thank her. Then she saw Liu Ye still kneeling there without making any movement. Concubine Zhe knew what Liu Ye was thinking, so she immediately glared at her and said, "What are you doing?"
Why don't you quickly thank me and accept the decree?"
